I'm so nervous about the whole new kid thing. It breaks my heart when Drake asks me if he's the baby? He used to tell me "I'm not baby mommy, I'm Drakey" now its "Mommy, I'm the baby? Drakey the baby." I don't know how to respond because he will always be my baby but.... *sigh*

You tell him, "You will always be my baby. I love you a whole bunch. But guess what, you are my Drakey and nothing will change that."

You have to make a BIG deal about what Drake does in dealing with his brother.

Who's the best big brother in the whole wide world? Sssssssaaaaay DRAKEY!!!!! Yaaaaay.

Gimme a high five Drake for giving Mommy the pamper.

The ironic thing is that Drake will need you more now than before. Cameron will need you to meet the needs of pooping, eating, and sleeping. Drake is going to need you for reassurance and support that he is still important. Your DH HAS to be on board as well to help him transition.

Ans + Moe = Liam and Noah

Each time an excuse is given for poor behavior, a chance for character growth is denied.

That's why I am making sure I tighten certain non-negotiables with Liam because Noah will look at how I handle Liam with certain things. If Liam acts like a plumb fool and I allow it, then his brother will think he can follow suit. Solar can tell you.

I let Olivia eat and sleep on her own schedule...thats why she's nuts now. No more!! I'm going back to my old methods I used on my older kids. they all slept in their own beds and thru the night. this girl is as I type, screaming at the top of her lungs!! because I told her to get out of the kitchen!!! the kitchen is closed little girl!!!
